I saw in another post of you, that you use the excel range template of that other guy:
https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=252559

I would also love to use this. I was able to download the excel template (Ranges3.1), but I'm not able to make any changes. Can you help me out?
I think the excel format is one of the best to have w34z3l's ranges open as you play along.

Greetings,
and I really whish you better times.

Sure thing i will make a video for you later today so you can see how to do it yourself :f_thumbsup:

Uff that's really unlucky. :why:

Day 33

Hello guys. I didn't played in the last few days but i decided to update here and post the total graph since i started the blog.

I had really bad run at one point and lost all my profit and then some more but in the last 2 or 3 sessions managed to get some back ad now i'm on the right track ( I hope so ) :fouet:

I still have a bussy schedule at work and i think it's gonna be like this this whole month. So i'm gonna play when i can and if i'm not tired. i will use this month to study more and from June i will start to grind way more.

Hello guys. Yesterday at work i got allergy on my body i had to leave and go to see a doctor.
They made me a shot and now i have to get for a few days Prednisone and Polaramine.

From what i've read Prednisone treats many different conditions such as allergic disorders, skin conditions and Polaramine is used to treat itching and rashes in my case.

I dont feel sick or something but the itching is killling me :f_cry:

So today atleast i'm gonna skip work, i'm gonna rest and i decided to play some poker. This week i have like no hands played because of the bussy scheducle at work.

My goal for today is to play 2500 hands :fouet: Tonight i will post the result for the day.

I wish you guys a chill Sunday :f_drink:

I had to use a form of Prednisone after my eye operations .
I thought that it was used to help keep inflammation down.

Get well soon!

Alright understand, do you think Regular tables are better?In better I mean, looser and you win more? Or does it with so many hand in Zoom equalize it self...

If you really focus on your game then playing regular tables will bring you better results overall i think.
Because once you identify the Fish you can play against him until he runs out of money or out of mood.

If you play Zoom even if you know a few fishes in the pool you will play just a few hands vs them and even then the fish will find the Fold button easier. He will just fold and go to the next hand. The reason the Fish will play Zoom it is because he can play a lot of hands and see a lot of flops.

If you study the game and improve constantly both variants can bring you profits.

Day 41

Uff a lot of time has passed since i started the blog. I imagined that in 41 days i will have already 1 million hands and be playing Nl50:coolface::coolface: :coolface:

I'm joking of course i knew i will grind Nl5 for a few months atleast but i wasn't expecting to have such a low volume. As i said in other posts the reason is that i work a lot this month 7 days a week and overtime but soon things will get much better and June will be a great month for sure :sfishg:

So after 41 days i managed to get to 30.000 hands :banana: And even if at the hand 15k i started to loose money... and loose ... and loose ... i managed to get almost all back in the last 10k hands.


I will also post the graph for the last almost 9 k hands. Really happy with the results i hope i can keep this run going.

I Zoom I was loosing always money...I was up a bit, and than in the next Session I got crushed again like hell... It even went so far, that at one point I was so confused on how to play AA in Zoom...I even changed my preferred seat :f_drink:

And now, I changed since last week to Regular tables and it is working out very well and I feel much better at them. I"m more confident in my Hands and in my play...
